Wonder what evidence they have other then her bashed in head. Is he really stupid enough to kill her and then bring her body to the ER? How dumb can you get?!!

Perhaps so.I do believe if a guy ever raised a hand to me though,he would need a prosthesis for that hand or some other body part. I wouldn’t take it.

Actually, I think the yellow is the only thing that keeps him from looking completely unfortunate.

Rm, it’s way more complicated than that. It happens to women you’d never, ever guess would put up with such things. It’s not always as easy to leave as you’d think.

The fella does look awfully dapper in that yella.

I saw another article where supposedly she had been a victim of domestic violence before, and here we have yet another killed,because they won’t leave. I truly don’t understand why women don’t have more respect for themselves, to put up with that mess.
